The Ram and Wrangler have their merits, but they are not what the public wants right now. The Challenger is an overweight, overpriced disappointment and the other LX cars are very long in the tooth. Nothing needs to be said for the Sebring/ Avenger, their sales numbers speak for themselves. The PaCalCo small cars are a white flag thrown up in the fight for a world class small car. The three large SUV's are already dead. The Nitro and Liberty really don't compete in a defined segment anymore and have long been forgotten. A new Grand Cherokee is on the way but again, that market is eroding. The Viper is cool, but has an interior that reminds me a lot of that 1998-2005 era of Chrysler design.

All that being said, the current Grand Cherokee SRT-8 would be a pretty cool truck if I could find one for about 17 grand.

And finally, the minivans- long the breadwinners for Chrysler, these still sell well, but with huge discounts and much worse resale values than their competition from Honda,Toyota and Hyundai/ Kia.
